Always point out that the economy began it's nosedive immediately after the 2006 mid-term election when the Democrats took control of Congress and spending.

Note that Guantanamo has not been closed. (Then smile as they begin to smolder into a purple rage.)

If they try to turn the conversation back towards Bush, as they inevitably will, just sigh and say, "Thank God that man was still in office long enough for the Surge to work in Iraq."

When they blame the economic crisis and stimulus 1 on Bush, point out that the all important meeting with Hank(y Panky) Paulson could not take place unless Obama was in the room. Remember?

Drop the phrase "Obama's Afghanistan" into the conversation as often as possible. I'm serious. Instead of saying just "Afghanistan," say "Obama's Afghanistan." They will go into a blind rage and you'll feel better.

Always smile. They really freaking hate that.

Mention the New Black Panthers as often as possible. Jeremiah Wright seems to fall on deaf ears, but the term "New Black Panthers" seems to send the antenna up, even though they will try to ignore it. Mention the "Race Hustlers." I also like the previous poster's "Black Ku Klux Klan."

I've also noticed that they will bring up the 60's and Selma when talking about SB1070. Always take the opportunity to note that the vast majority of segregationists were Democrats. Name a few. Al Gore's old man is a good place to start. I stopped one idiot in her tracks when she referred to Joe Arpaio as a "modern day Bull Connor." I just laughed and said, "Arpaio could never be a Bull Connor. That would require being a Democrat!"

Other than those few mentions, just change the subject when they start calling you a racist. Pick any other topic. I'll no longer step to that sh!t because it's just a ploy to get you angry and off topic.

If you're on Facebook, post occasional links to stories you find interesting - mostly about crooked Dem politicians. There is certainly a wealth of fodder! I've found that most of my "center/moderate" friends don't see these stories in the media and are often surprised and angered (in a good way) when they do see them. The Liberals will then come out of the woodwork and you can just delete them and not have any association with them anymore. As the previous poster said, this is war. I've had it with being "nice." I even had one "friend" that I've known since college threaten to turn me in to my employer for "posting political crap on Facebook on company time." Little did he know, I was sick at home that day. FAIL.

Keep up your spirits. Come here and talk to the folks here and read what they say. FReepers are true patriots.
